Fight+ was a British and European combat sports TV channel founded by David McConachie and Steffen Tangstad.
Fight+ showed movies, documentaries, classic and exclusive matches, training and educational programming and news. The channel was launched at the end of January 2006 on a British Sky satellite provider.[1] The plan was for Fight+ to become available all over Europe as fast as possible. The channel started broadcasting in Scandinavia on 1 March 2006.[2]
Fight+ closed down on 11 December 2006, according to Canal Digital website.[3] According to the same website the channel is closing because there hasn't been enough interest from customers of Canal Digital, and they've also had problems finding new investors.
